The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. In 2012, it is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 44″ (or 66.5622°) north of the Equator. The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solsticerespectively).
The Antarctic Circle is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 44″ (or 66.5622°) south of the Equator. The Antarctic Circle is the northernmost latitude in the Southern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours.
No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points, then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.
Everyplace on earth that is not within the arctic or antarctic circles.
Arctic. Antarctic is the South Pole.
The arctic. The Antarctic is on the southern most part of the world.
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to the Antarctic Circle. They are lines of latitude either north (Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer) or south of the equator.
No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points, then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Polar Zones
The Arctic and Antarctic Cirles are 66.5619° from the North and South Poles.
the Arctic one
67 degrees i think.
roughly 1700 miles
66.5622 degrees north and south
The Arctic circle is 66 33′ 39″ north and the Antarctic is the same south of the equator.Every longitude crosses both circles.
66.5622 degrees north and south respectively.
The Arctic and Antarctic circles are named after the regions they mark. The Arctic Circle is named after the constellation Ursa Major, known as the Great Bear or "arctic bear," while the Antarctic Circle is named after the opposite direction of the Arctic Circle on the globe.
